Jazz up your shoes with FunkKit

FunkKit, an Israeli product for adding temporary customized artwork to footwear, was conceived on a shopping trip.

It was 2006, and Israeli college student Moran Nir was in England on a Jewish Agency summer program.

“I went shopping with a friend who loves hats—he has one for each outfit,” Nir tells ISRAEL21c. “We went to a shoe store and he bought six pairs of the same shoes in different colors, in order to match his hats. That was my eureka moment.”

Nir got on the phone to classmates at IDC-Herzliya, an Israeli university where she was studying computer science and entrepreneurship, and proposed the idea of creating art stickers for sneakers.
